Project Description

In this latest iteration of my Reinas/Queens series, which are anchored in trauma and anxiety, I will investigate the fear of losing a child to violence/intolerance. I find myself fearing the inherent injustices brown children will endure based on their skin, and grieve for mothers of fallen children. Inspired by Michelangelo's Pieta, I will create a live performance portrait for which I sit and cradle 33 young people of color, the same age as Jesus at the time of his execution.
